I was actually referring to client authentication.

The DANE WG did make the decision you decide. But they did not get buy in
from any of the constituencies required to achieve deployment.


In standards work there is a big difference between describing *A* way to
do something and *THE* way to do something.

Sure there are folk who can move documents through IETF faster than a dose
of Ex-Lax will unblock a dodgy vindaloo. But the result is you end up with
a specification rather than a standard. Sometimes that is the desired
outcome.
